Hello Nikos,

This was the mail from George that I just referred to in my 
other mail. Is there anything that needs to be covered here?
Some specific comments below.

Hi Michael,
 I think George and I disagree on what the text would recommend. I'm
against keeping the existing text which implies (wrongly IMHO) that
/dev/random should be used for generating keys.

I attach my reply at the time (I had agreed on George updating the
manpage and discussing it further - since that didn't happen I'm back
with an updated proposal).

regards,
Nikos
